A group of contributors this week donated more than $12,000 to a charity that houses and treats chemically dependent HIV-positive men and women in Broward County, according to a written statement from the charity.

Tuesday's Angels, a Fort Lauderdale-based group that provides emergency funding for people with AIDS in Broward, gave the grant to Broward House, a charity operating 11 local facilities that provide drug treatment, education and counseling to people living with HIV, according to the statement.

"It is unusual that our organization gives such grants," said Chuck Nicholls, president of the board of directors for Tuesday's Angels. "However, we have been extremely successful in our fund-raising efforts this year."
